My Weekend

I don't usually write a recap of my life. It's pretty boring and I can't imagine anyone actually wanting to read it. But since I have a few extra minutes here at work I decided to just do a quick play by play.
Friday night Justin and I hit up a few tattoo shops here in town. We were looking at pricing some ink work that we want done. I did find a dragon at Trilogy that I really want and they are going to charge me much less than the other places that I have been so far. So, maybe a big scary dragon is in my future.
Jayroe couldn't find anything so our night of tattoo hunting was done. We went back to my crib and watched 5 episodes of The Shield. For those of you who don't know...you don't fuck with Vic Mackey.

Saturday Justin, Richard and I headed to Nashville. We stopped by Icon Tattoos up there. They have a design that Justin really likes. They couldn't fit him in so he ended up not getting inked this weekend. Very disappointing. But we have decided to go together in a week or two and get our shit done at Trilogy.

Anyway, the weekend continued with a kick ass meal at Cheesecake Factory. I had the chicken and biscuits. A heaping pile of mashed potatoes, covered in country grave, two huge savory chicken breasts, shortcake biscuits, carrots, and peas. YUM. For dessert I had cheesecake, of course. Dulche De leche. To Die For.

Headed to the Opry Mills Mall next. That place, even after almost a decade of being open, is still incredible. It's so big. So nice. And it has managed not to get all ragged out, thugged out, or broke down. Something like that in Memphis would never last. It would either become run down in a couple of years or people would just stop going. Nashville really is a cool place and I would love to live there one day.

We finished our Saturday off at Zanies Comedy Club with Mitch Fatel. He was friggin' hilarious and I encourage you to check him out on Comedy Central this month. You won't regret it.

So that was pretty much my weekend. Sunday we drove home, I rested a bit, and then ended my weekend the way I always do, with a relaxing dinner and some Desperate Housewives with Jason and Katrina. Don't know if I've mentioned this or not, but Housewives is so much better than it used to be. Seriously. Season 2 was so much crap that I actually quit watching for a while. But this season has been great and I think that the show is in for a long run.

OUT!

Totally agree about the mall thing. I haven't been to any mall in Nashville, but I totally agree that Memphis is not a sustainable landscape for a good mall. It's kind of sad, but I guess that's just the way it is.

That's cool that you guys are going to get work done at Trilogy. Sadly, I don't think I know anyone that works there anymore! I think there was a bunch of drama and the whole crew kind of got replaced, or left. I'm sure you will get good work done there, though; I always see great tattoos come out of that shop.

Mann the Nashville Mall is awesome,but i think that the Little Rock mall Park Plaza might have it beat by a smidge. That mall is 3 stories tall. Nothing that good could ever stand a chance here in ghettoville.

I want to go get Inked when yall go or maybe just come and watch. I have only seen people get tattoos on tv and not in real life,I think it would b cool to see.
